The many friends of this pioneer couple of Shelby are glad to note the event of today and
wish them continued happiness and contautment in their church and other social
relations which they have so creditably held since their advent here in 1857.
 
They are the parents of five children, two of whom died in infancy; a son, Albert, died in
1871, aged nine years, The Misses Emily and Sylvia FREY, well known and highly
respected daughters, live with their parents at their pleasant home in our city.

until honorably discharged; he was born at Beallsville, Pa., Oct 31st, 1821. Mrs. FREY

May the years that are yet to come to them be as happy as those that have passed.

between the junction and the postoffice. He has filled positions of responsibility and
his life has been a busy one. He was billing and checking clerk at the junction for
seventeen years. For ten years more he was baggage master at the junction. Then,
having been mail carrier a number of years, he became well known to the people of
Shelby and vicinity. He filled all the positions with honor to himself and is known as
a man of integrity. His Mexican was war experiences have already been published in
the Globe. He enlisted for general service at Mt. Vernon in March 1847.
 
Both Mr. and Mrs. FREY have enjoyed good health during their lives and feel grateful
